KUALA LUMPUR: The welfare of police personnel should continue to be prioritised, in line with the concerns of Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, said Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. Also present were Inspector-General of Police Datuk Seri Mohd Khalid Ismail and Yayasan Seri Negara patron Tan Sri Dr Mazlan Lazim. Dr Wan Azizah said the assistance channelled through the zakat wakalah mechanism to police personnel helped ease the financial burden of recipients, including daily expenses, children's education and basic family needs, especially in the face of rising living costs. He said each recipient received cash assistance and a food basket, while three recipients also received wheelchairs. Mohd Khalid also expressed his appreciation to Yayasan Seri Negara and PBLT Sdn Bhd for their continued commitment to caring for the welfare of police personnel, especially through zakat and social development programmes over the past three years.
